REZA & STEVEN

"For this epic adventure they needed the perfect touring bike. Reza and Steven decided to use the Koga Signature configurator to custom build their bikes."

Mark Beaumont

In 2007/2008, Mark Beaumont broke the world record time for cycling around the world. He made the 18,296 miles (29,446 km) in 194 days and 17 hours, smashing the old record by 81 days.

Kapp to Cape

From the North Cape to the South Cape

18,000 miles in 100 days, from the North Cape down to the South Cape that was the dream of the two British cycling adventurers Reza Pakravan and Steven Pawley. By making the journey in the shortest possible time they hoped to set a new world record and raise money for the Azafady charity to build two new schools in Madagascar.

The bike

For this epic adventure they needed the perfect touring bike. Reza and Steven decided to use the Koga Signature configurator to custom build their bikes. He chose a Traveller KS-TR 28 with rohloff and toothed belt drive.

During the trip, the bikes proved themselves under all circumstances, "Our KOGA Signature trekking bikes rode smoothly from the North to the South Cape." The two Britons had a lot to endure during their trip, with their adventures being recorded almost daily on their blog kapptocape.com

Smooth welding

Where possible, the welds of KOGA frames are perfectly levelled (smooth welding) so that a completely smooth surface is produced. This not only enhances the visual appeal but additionally reduces the risk of corrosion around the welds; an area which is traditionally susceptible to the formation of rust.

Cable integration

Beautiful and functional integration of the cables. As a result, the cables are better protected from the weather. Moreover, the bike is easier to keep clean and has an improved sleek appearance.

SoleMate pedal

KOGA's SoleMate pedal ensures that the ideal foot position is automatically adopted. The concave shape of the pedal encourages the pedalling with the ball of the foot rather than the instep. The pedalling is therefore made more efficient.

Hub dynamo

A hub dynamo provides power to both the headlamp and rear lights. A sustainable and environmentally friendly solution with the additional resistance being negligible.

Double eyelet rim

The spokes are fixed by means of nipples which are guided through both walls of the rim. This creates an extremely stable and durable wheel.

Tubus chrome- molybdenum carrier

A luggage carrier from the Tubus brand is characterised by its high quality finish. The choice of material is also striking: instead of commonly used aluminium, Tubus carriers are manufactured from thin-walled tubing of the chrome- molybdenum alloy 25CrMo4. The carrier has a layer of plastic acting as a protective coating over its entire surface. The result is a strong, light and durable product. Ideal for the traveller that places great demands on their equipment.

Lowrider extra kick stand

The lowrider is equipped with an extra kick stand so that the bicycle can remain standing when carrying a full load.

Lowrider brackets

The front fork is suitable for the easy and safe installation of a lowrider with brackets, so you can carry more luggage.

Elite Lysso Alloy silver drinks bottle

Bottle Cage Elite Taki combined with Elite Lysso Alloy silver drinks bottle. The bottle is made from aluminium and has a capacity of 700 ml. The mouthpiece is protected by a plastic cover and can be kept clean. The bottle cage with its resilient plastic construction fits the bottle perfectly so it doesn't rattle.
